Inside Female Ward 9 & 10, a forgotten bathroom stands silent. Peeling paint and stained tiles reveal years of disuse. Cold light filters through a grimy window, illuminating the decay.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A communal bathroom stripped back to its fixtures. Three porcelain basins line the right wall, chrome taps green with corrosion, exposed pipework running beneath. A squat ceramic bath sits against the far wall, its enamel dulled to grey. Terrazzo partitions divide the shower stalls on the left. The floor tiles are stained dark in patches where water has pooled and dried over years. Soft light enters through a single barred window. Plywood covers what was once a mirror.

Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
